:sad: Probably not,since it is an SAP school and my chinese isn't that great

Sorry for the late reply :imsorry:

Not too sure if you are aware that JH1 and JH2 students hv to take Higher Mother Tongue regardless of PSLE MT score or whether the student had studied HMT in pri sch. Only in JH3 can a student opt to take MT or the sch advises the student to do so.

Thanks for your reply :thankyou: I am aware of that,but I felt that SAP school's standard of chinese would be much higher than that of non SAP schools so I prefer NJC.Anyway I have already put NJC as my first choice due to the fact that my dad has agreed to chauffeur me there

Btw, I think Nanyang Girls' High School has boarding school for girls only which is open to non-Nanyang Girls' students. NJC boarding school also takes in regular boarders.

If for some reasons the travelling distance affects your time available for studies, u might want to discuss the boarding school options with your parents.

All the best to you.

1) Which term does JH1 need to stay in the school?


2) For Japanese class, is there any transport to MOELC? How many hours and which day will the lesson be held?

For the past 3 years, it has been 4th term for jH1s to board. It could change, I suppose, but unlikely.

I don't think there is any transport to anywhere for NJC. ;D Unless it's a school-organised event and there is a bus arranged.

1) Does that mean yr 1 student go through similar CCA programme and they do not need to choose till they complete the CAFE programme??
2) I am new to NJC. By the way, what is JH1/2/3/4?
3) I heard that students dont need to use too many textbooks in yr 1. Is it true? Then how do the teacher conduct their lessons and how do the students revise for their subjects?
4) If my dd decides to take Japanese for 3rd language, where is the location of the language center?

1) There is a range of CCA available for JH1s(year 1s - that is, the Sec 1s) to choose from. They have to select 3 CCAs among the list to join for the whole 1st year they are in NJC. Once approved by school, they will join the CCA according to the schedule set by the school. 1st 1/3 of school year with one CCA, 2nd 1/3 of school year with another CCA, and Final 1/3 of school year with the last CCA. At the end of JH1, they have to put in their preferences for a Core CCA to be picked from a list to be done in JH2 (Sec 2 - their 2nd year in NJC). They can also put in preferences for a subsidiary CCA as well.

2) JH1:Sec1, JH2:Sec2, JH3:Sec3, JH4:Sec4 (JH -> Junior High).
SH1: JC1, SH2:JC2. (SH -> Senior High).

3) School prepares booklets and notes according to their curriculum. The students will know what to study lah.

4) Foreign Language Centres - 2 in Singapore, right? Buona Vista or Bishan. Your choice to apply.

Just to add on, i think the MOELC @ Buona Vista (Ghim Moh) moved to Newton

Hi! I'm new here XD. I got 258+2 for PSLE and I intend to put NJC as my second choice. First choice would be RGS. What's my chances to get in NJC? Also, why do we have to stay in the school for a term very year? That is my BIGGEST question.

Not sure abt the score thing.
But basically, the reasons for boarding:
- Sustained development of self-identity and building up of character
- Rigorous leadership development in all domains – Intellectual, social, physical, aesthetic and cultural
- Nurturing of community awareness and rootedness
- Capacity building through non-examinable components

Boarding is really fun though. Imagine living together with all your peers without having the need to separate with your family (since you get to go home on weekends).
